How does your body react when it receives a bad burn- like hot oil on the arm and torso?

Does Blood Pressure go up...down?


Temperature?


pulse?


respirations?


pupils?How does your body react when it receives a bad burn- like hot oil on the arm and torso?
Generally - BP, temp, pulse, resp all go up. pupils - not sure. If the burn is bad enough the bp drops, resp increase, pulse increases and the body goes into shock.





I was burned by a big splash of hot oil when I was working at a fast food joint and my body's reaction was to run into the back room, strip all of my burning hot clothes off and jump in the wash down room for a cold shower!How does your body react when it receives a bad burn- like hot oil on the arm and torso?
I'm pretty sure my BP rose quite a bit and my pulse quickened,


My breathing was erratic.
